A freelance LinkedIn ghostwriter, or PoisedHQ?

When a freelancer is the better choice

A freelancer is the right call in three situations.

• They have written for another recruiter and can show you the posts and who read them.
• You want one or two posts a month and no profile work.
• You want a writer in your own city who can sit in on your client meetings.

Five questions to ask any ghostwriter

1. Who is the post for? If the answer is "your audience" or "candidates", they are writing for the wrong reader. Your posts should be for the people who give you briefs.
2. Have you written for a recruiter before? Ask to see three posts.
3. What do you need from me each week? Time spent briefing is time you were trying to save.
4. Will you fix my profile first? Good posts send people to your profile. If it still reads like a CV, the posts are wasted.
5. How do I stop? Look for month-to-month terms.

How PoisedHQ answers those five

• Who it is for: the hiring manager who looks you up after your business-development email.
• Recruiters only: solo recruiters and boutique recruitment, staffing and executive-search firms are the only clients we take.
• Your time: a 15-minute call to start, then about ten minutes each Monday to approve the week.
• Profile first: headline, About, experience and banner line are rebuilt before the posting starts.
• Stopping: month-to-month, no contract.

What PoisedHQ can't offer yet

We are new, so we have no client results to show you. That is why the first post is free: read it, and decide on the writing.
